Political Cargo – Public annual conference of the international research project »Bilderfahrzeuge«

Warburg-Haus, Friday & Saturday, October 29th-30th, 2021

Politische Fracht. Bilderfahrzeuge im globalen Austausch
Political Cargo. Image Vehicles in Global Exchange

We cordially invite you to attend the public annual conference of the international research project »Bilderfahrzeuge. Aby Warburg’s Legacy and the Future of Iconology« is taking place at the Warburg-Haus from October 29 to 30, 2021!

To join online via Zoom, see links below

Organized by Leena Crasemann, Uwe Fleckner & Yannis Hadjinicolaou

The annual conference of the international research project »Bilderfahrzeuge. Aby Warburg’s Legacy and the Future of Iconology« is dedicated to the topic of the different »cargos« with which the »automotive images vehicles« (Aby Warburg) at the centre of the project’s research are loaded. Its main focus lies on the aesthetic and political dimensions of what are often global transfer and exchange processes, and on the type and (sometimes active) possible effects of the things and ideas being conveyed. The sections are devoted to three subject areas: firstly, natural objects that are effective in political interactions, for example during diplomatic encounters, secondly, materials that are subject to migration processes, but also help to determine them, and thirdly, mobile and translocally travelling architectures and architectural fragments.

Please note that the 2G-rule (convalescent or vaccinated persons) currently applies to access to events in the Warburg-Haus. Registration is required, please write to: eva.landmann@uni-hamburg.de.

You can also participate in the conference, which is carried out in hybrid mode, from abroad:
